I find it hilarious how the Tebow fans keep talking about last year. Only problem, that was a different team...one with a half way decent line. Same is true about his collegiate career. I'm not supporting Ryan. Tim has heart. But his skills is not NFL starting material.
Greg McElroy sacked 11 times as Jets' QB situation keeps unraveling
You have to hand it to Rex Ryan and the Jets. Just when you think that their complete mess of a quarterback situation cannot get any more ridiculous, a day like Sunday comes along and changes the story again.
Ryan benched Mark Sanchez in favor of Greg McElroy following a debacle of a Week 15 loss to Tennessee. The Jets' head coach then proceeded to activate McElroy, Sanchez and Tim Tebow against the Chargers … and still used wide receiver Jeremy Kerley as the focal point of the team's wildcat formations, with Tebow relegated to the sideline amidst reports that he asked not to play in that scheme after being upset over his demotion.
Oh, right. McElroy also took 11 sacks during San Diego's 27-17 win, one shy of the record for the most allowed by a team in a game and the most in Jets history.
McElroy turned the ball over twice (one fumble and one interception), though this was his first NFL start, so perhaps he deserves to be cut a little slack — especially with his offensive line struggling all day. Still, if the Jets were looking for someone to step up and redeem this season-long circus at QB, McElroy failed to deliver Sunday.
Tebow has grown increasingly frustrated with the situation and, while you can knock his skills, it's hard to blame him. Since adding him in the offseason, the Jets have kept Tebow in a sideshow role, splitting time between blocking on punts and carrying the ball in short yardage.
Ryan announced after the game that McElroy would start in Week 17, as New York closes out its season against Buffalo — the Jets need to win to avoid finishing in a tie for last place in the AFC East. Turning back to Sanchez or giving Tebow a shot now may not make a lot of sense, but it's hard to see McElroy fixing the Jets' needs at the game's most important position.
Somehow, the Jets did manage to score 14 points in the first quarter against the Chargers before the train jumped the tracks. San Diego ran off 20 unanswered points in the middle two quarters to take control.
And speaking of control, it's beyond clear now that Ryan has lost his grip on this team, at least with regard to putting it in a position to win each week. Will the QB issue lead to Ryan's firing after the season ends or will he get a shot at redemption in 2013?
If the Jets choose the latter, they will have to do something drastic to improve their quarterback play. Sunday, amazingly, marked another step back there.
The only thing rex ryan is good for (besides having his a-hole hard-wired to his esophagus)
is putting his feet in his mouth.
... oh ... wait ...
2012 Jets set record for amount of ink and bytes wasted on a 6-9 team.
Ryan is not a head coach. He is a defensive coordiantor. It's obvious he doesn't have the faculties to be a head coach. He can't mange the clock, time outs, getting players on and off the field, etc. Aside from the poor personnel decisions that we can lay at Tannenbaum's door step, the team is horribly coached. Ryan lost last year's team and should have been fired then, along with the Tanman. This year Rex was supposed to get more involved with the offense. Well, we now see why we don't want him involved in the offense. Maybe at the end of the season we'll find out the truth behind the Tebow trade and Sanchez extension. Who wanted whom? Did Woodbrain want Tebow and they got him without Tannenbaum's and Ryan's support? Did Tannenbaum want him? Clearly Ryan did not. Maybe Ryan is sticking it to Woodbrain because they got Tebow in spite of his protest. Maybe Rex wanted to win without Tebow and prove a point. That would explain why he kept on sticking with Sanchez. If that's the case, all he did was coach his way out of a job and that's good news to me. Or maybe Woodbrain wanted Tebow just to sell seats. that's a Bain Capital type of thing to do and Woodbrain did support another loser recetnly...Romney. One last thought......the team played much better when Rex was bigger. Maybe the fall from grace is due to Rex's wieght loss. The Jets played big when he was big. Hmmmmmmm, maybe all we need to do is get Rex a nice big plate of his favorite food. All he's been eating lately is crow.
Actually, the best thing would be for Woodbrain to sell the tream to someone that really has a brain. Let's remember, Woodbrain inherited his money from his Daddddddy.
To anybody who bought a Jets Tebow jersey, or a season ticket to see Tebow play, or even a game ticket to see him - how does it feel now that Ryan has made a SUCKER out of you?
Ryan's dad was the most egocentric coach in the history of the NFL - until now...
j.e.t.s. I've despised your organization even before you crowned broadway joe. The way Tebow has been treated there is just more reason to laugh at your self created mess. In no way am I making any claim to his abilities as an NFL QB. But what a slap in the face to have to suffer through another pitiful jets season knowing that no one in the organization has any intention of ever trying to use you. Any doubt about the jets organization showing the least amount of respect was tossed out the window when it was announced by ryan that McElroy would start and totally damaged product sanchize would be #2 and then to state that you don't even know if you are planning on dressing all 3 qb's or just 2. Your organization needs to be cursed forever. Could Tebow have been a positive force in some player capacity? No one will ever know as long as he is in the jets basement.
Ryan blew it. I guess Rex decided that it was better to lose with Sanchez than to even give Tebow a chance. Maybe he forgot that 95-yard, fourth-quarter Tebow-led drive that beat the Jets last year in Denver. Or maybe he does remember that game, and he & Sparano conspired to punish Tebow for beating both of their inept teams last season. Whatever the case, Ryan should be fired and Sparano should be following right behind him. Nobody who has as bad judgment as Rex Ryan deserves a head-coaching gig in the NFL. It's unfathomable that he could claim that Mark "The Human Turnover" Sanchez gave the Jets the "best chance of winning" after each ugly loss, while his performances somehow became increasingly worse. Rex said he's responsible for this season--so be it. Please, Woody, do SOMETHING right and fire Ryan. You just wasted an entire season of Tebow's career while your coach simultaneously flushed your team's chances of winning right down the drain. Now it's time to jettison Ryan and free Tebow. Do the right thing--that may be a foreign concept to you, but perhaps you can start a new trend.
@me1 Like always, merely an opinion. Until Tebow starts, it's only an opinion as to whether he'll be good or not.
@chessikazimmerman Think about it though. If Tebow comes in and wins the last 2 games, Ryan looks like a moron for not starting him sooner. Rex is just trying to save his job. He is a terrible coach, and the Jets are a terrible team. No offense to Jets fans, but the team would be better off starting over. They are not close to being a playoff team, and that game last week against the Titans was the worst example of NFL football I have ever watched.
Rex is a moron. He doesn't need Tebow playing or not playing to prove that
@RSpreier , BillPeterson I totally agree with your points. Truthfully I don't think Ryan could have looked more incompetent even if Tebow could have brought a spark. I am just disgusted with the ryan / sanchize fatal obsession. Yes, blow them up and start over. Not a jets fan so I never want them at the top (not much worry really) but I just can't stand the disrespect that they have shown Tebow... Use the player or free them to try someplace else... Yes more and more looking like J-ville may be his landing. I'd be glad for him. At least get an honest opportunity.
@RSpreier @chessikazimmerman I have to be glad at this point that he didn't start Tebow. I'd hate to see him get splattered playing for the Jets before going to Jacksonville.

This is an Ok campground. The interior roads and sites are gravel (rough gravel). Most of the sites were not level and crowded. Lots of nice shade trees, but not much grass between the sites. I did not see any pull thru sites. I think big rigs would have some trouble getting into this park. The restrooms/showers were clean with a mix of old/new facilities. The location is out of the way and kind of hard to find. Most of the sites were filled with seasonal units. I don't think we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our original plan was to spend two nights, but we extended our stay to 4. All of the staff I dealt with were friendly and accommodating. This is the closest private park to Ohiopyle. My site was reserved at the last minute and was near all of the activities, so it was busy at times, but everyone seemed to be having fun, and I never heard any foul language during our stay. We reserved our sites for our next stay before we pulled out. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

If you enjoy a park full of smoke, sites that aren't leveled, lots and lot of children running around and snooty teenagers this is the place for you. If you have a large motorhome...STAY AWAY from this place! The sites are tight, the roads narrow and gravel throughout. The pool looked mucks but the little pond was lovely. The whole time we were here we could here everyone around us praising Jim Crow Laws, quoting the bible, and getting drunk. We stayed for 13 miserably long hours and left. The town nearby is quaint and have a couple of very nice resorts..one with an RV site that is on the rather expensive side but worth it! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great place for families. They have a playground with a sand box and swings and nice clean swimming pool. We really appreciated the wading pool for our toddler. The staff was very nice and went out of their way to help us with anything we needed. They even kept the laundry room open a little later so I could finish my laundry. We noticed several big rigs when we first came into the park, but the site we got was a little further away and woodsy, which was really nice. They have cozy little log cabins that would be great for our parents to stay in next year! I would recommend this campground and I know we'll be back next summer to enjoy all the activities they offer. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This campground is not big rig friendly. We arrived in a 39 foot motorhome and was assigned a site that was not suitable for our rig. The site was uneven and small and the hook ups were in the back of the rig, not on the side as usually placed at other campgrounds. We tried to level our rig but damaged the levelers in the process. The roads were narrow and low hanging tree branches made for a very stressful drive to the site. After the failed attempt to level up, we left the campground and headed home. Fortunately, we live close by. The management was informed about our experience and departure and we were told that no refund would be made and that big rigs go in and out of there everyday; although we didn't see any big rigs or big fifth wheels. Take heed and use caution if you plan to camp at this campground. We will not be returning.. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Just ok. This campground had a well water problem all weekend. The water was orange and nasty. Come Saturday there was no hot water for a shower. The pool area is nice. I was not thrilled with all of the underage kids working the store, snackbar and doing the activities. They all had the personality of a stick. Some of the activities were a real let down. When it came time for the balloon toss,the girl brought out maybe 12 water baloons for the 30 or so kids wanting to participate. My child was very disappointed. The hayride is pulled by a Ford Truck. The campground has a arcade that dispenses tickets to win prizes. It seemed like their main priority was for you to dump tons of $$$ in the arcade. I dont take my children camping so that they can blow tons of $$$ in an arcade. The playground is in the middle of a bunch of tent sites. You have to walk around peoples tents to walk around the playground. I didnt like that. The restrooms were not the cleanest. The floors were muddy and wet. The one restroom did not have any way to dry your hands. Does it cost that much for some papertowels? We will not be returning to Benners Meadow Run anytime soon. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We really liked this place - much better than the nearby Jellystone park. We were camping with friends and had sites right across from the office and pool - no trees and a little close together, but it was nice to share a yard and the noise from the central complex was minimal. Sites further away are more wooded and down fairly steep hills, so take your choice. Only one showerhouse, so it's a hike from some sites; and our only complaint is that the showers, while free and pretty clean, were inconsistent. You'd get hot water one time, lukewarm the next, and a hot shower could quickly turn cold. We were here over Labor Day weekend; I guess the hot water heater just had trouble keeping up. Great activities, and not only for the kids: a DJ on Friday night and a pretty good local band on Saturday. My middle schoolers rated the game room the best we've ever been to, and the pool was nice (although a little cold!). We would definitely camp here again, as we plan to return to the Ohiopyle area for whitewater rafting and the natural waterslides. Very nice park! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a nicely shaded campground (except for a dozen open sites near the front entrance) with a long, gravel pad, a picnic table and fire ring at each site. The tent sites are in their own secluded areas. I'd estimate about two-thirds of the sites with hookups were seasonals, but all were very nicely maintained. The campground had a pool, a separate wading pool, and plenty of other recreational activities for the kids. The place was full, with lots of children, on a summer weekend but emptied out quite a bit during the week. The restrooms were basic but clean. The office staff was friendly and efficient. The office had a fairly well stocked camp store, with a more limited grocery section. There was a nice snack bar selling both hot and cold breakfast and snack items, as well as ice cream. A worship service is held in the recreation hall on Sunday mornings. A security guard patrols the park during quiet hours, which were enforced. We noticed employees were always going around the park doing maintenance and cleaning up. Nicely located for the many activities available in the surrounding Laurel Highlands. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is part of the Nemacolin Resort. The rate was actually $150.00 per night, I kid you not! Beautiful grounds and sites abound. World class golf, spas, restaurants, concierge service, free transports within the resort. They even hook you up to the utilities. No bathrooms are available however. A special place for a special weekend. It was our anniversary and we'll go back next year. Not the kind of cost we'd do every weekend but it's perfect for a special occasion. Miniature golf, a zoo, paint ball, horse riding, off road driving, paddle boats and more are offered. The place is huge. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stonecipher Symposium focuses on homeland security issuesSacrifice, special training and secrecy have prepared U.S. Special Operations to battle challenges as war in Iraq intensifies. Retired four-star Gen. Carl Stiner will talk about the role of Special Operations and the nation's war against terrorism at 7 p.m., Monday, March 24, in Derryberry Auditorium as the keynote speaker in this year's Stonecipher Symposium on Technology, Communication and Culture at Tennessee Tech University.
Stiner is uniquely qualified to lead the symposium with its focus on homeland security. A former Commander in Chief of the U.S. Special Operations Command, he commanded the Army's premier contingency strike forces and counterterrorist forces; planned and led all forces in the liberation of Panama and the capture of Manuel Noriega; and was also involved with all Special Operations support for Operation Desert Storm.
His keynote address, "The History of What Led to the Attack of September 11," will begin this year's symposium, an event that has seen several schedule changes due to the timing of recent events in Iraq and invited participants who play key roles in the U.S. effort. The public is invited.
Stiner, a 1958 Tennessee Tech graduate and native of LaFollette, Tenn., served a 35-year military career. Following retirement, he has continued to serve as a military advisor, consultant and teacher. He is a senior mentor/teacher at the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va., and at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C.
While continuing to be involved in other national and civil activities, Stiner also works with Future Warfighting Experiments as a senior mentor in order to determine how the military should be prepared to defend U.S. interests in 2015 and beyond.
Last year, Stiner collaborated with best-selling author Tom Clancy to write Shadow Warriors, an account of the U.S. Special Operations forces.
"This is the most complete book ever written on the subject," Stiner said. "It has been written to give readers a better understanding and feel for the utility of these forces to tackle the current challenges we're facing in this war against terrorism."
Stiner himself was trained in Jump School and Ranger School and also received Green Beret training, and he says that today, Special Operations soldiers are trained for a broader range of missions. Special reconnaissance, combat search and rescue, disaster relief and peacekeeping are just a few of the missions in which these troops are involved.
According to Stiner, the book is a completely factual depiction of the evolution of the Special Operations forces from World War II to the present. Readers have been told as much as possible to "educate them as to what these quiet professionals are made of and how important they are to our nation now and for the future," Stiner said.
The sixth annual Stonecipher Symposium, to be held Monday-Tuesday, March 24-25, will feature Stiner among other military and governmental leaders and eminent researchers and thinkers who will discuss the meaning of homeland security. The speakers will also consider the question of personal privacy and how much of it we are willing to sacrifice for the sake of security.
Major Gen. Jerry Humble, director of the Tennessee Office of Homeland Security, and James Albaugh, president and CEO of Integrated Systems of The Boeing Co., will be among the noted participants.
Other presenters include Rebecca Dornbusch, deputy director of the International Biometric Industry Association; Kathleen Carley, director of the Center for Computational Analysis of Social and Organizational Change at Carnegie Mellon University; Clyde Wayne Crews Jr., director of Technology Policy at the Cato Institute; and David McIntyre, deputy director of the ANSER Institute for Homeland Security. On Tuesday, March 25, Research Electronics International of Cookeville will demonstrate modern information-gathering technology.
All events are free and open to the public. Presentations will be held in the OVC Room of the Roaden University Center, and keynote addresses will be held in Derryberry Auditorium. Due to the uncertain international situation, the schedule of events is dynamic. Please visit www.tntech.edu/stonecipher for up-to-date schedule information or call (931) 372-3507.

*Breastfeed Discreetly*
Order today for Monday delivery
The Bebe au Lait Nursing Covers for chic mothers are beautiful, easy to use, machine washable and multi purpose.
As a nursing cover of for expressing they offer generous coverage, providing privacy and focus for mum and baby. The nursing cover features a rigid neckline so that mum (and only mum) can see baby and it also allows airflow. Additionally there are thoughtful features including a terry cloth corner for clean ups and a small item storage pocket.
A Bebe au Lait Nursing Cover can also be used as a lightweight blanket or as a sunshield cover over a buggy or front carrier. They allow today's stylish, active mums to take care of baby's needs wherever and whenever she needs to.
Expensive for what it is, but really useful as it enables me to breastfeed my 2 week old discreetly, anywhere and anytime she's hungry. Brilliant to not have to leave the room when we have guests, or cut visits short.
This breastfeeding cover is perfect to use out and about without feeling like you're 'on display'. I was confident feeding in public before but using this cover means I don't hesitate about feeding my 4 month old daughter anywhere. It also looks stylish which just seals the deal for me :)
This has made feeding in public less stressful when my baby daughter starts crying and draws attention just when you want it least! Expensive but well worth it. Simple but effective.
Ordered breastfeeding cover on next day delivery service as I was meeting a friend at the weekend and would be breast feeding in public for the first time. Text received to say it would arrive thurs lunchtime. It did not turn up. Tracking said it would come friday, it did not. Angry phone call resulted in it coming on monday. Very poor service for my first kiddicare order, v disappointed, should have used [@]. The product itself is excellent, exactly what I need.
I bought this product for when I was breastfeeding in public as I know some people do not like it. This product makes it discreet and you keep your modesty. You can look down and check that baby is ok and you are able to use the corners if there is any leakage. I also used it whilst I was expressing too when I was out for the day.

♦ The Seahawks sit at 2-18 overall and are just 1-8 in the CAA, their lone league win coming on Jan. 8 at William & Mary (61-52). UNCW currently sits in a tie for ninth place with George Mason on the CAA leaderboard.
♦ This season only six Seahawks are seeing significant playing time. The top players for UNCW see the court between 25.6 minutes and 36.7 minutes per game. No other player in the lineup tops 13.8 minutes.
♦ Four UNCW players are averaging at least 9.0 points per game. Redshirt junior guard Jessica Freeman is leading the way with 10.2 ppg as well as committing a team-leading 2.7 steals. Senior guard Tawanna Lee is the long-range threat of the team, knocking down 37.8 percent of her shots from 3-point distance to boast her scoring average to 9.8.
♦ Senior forward Karneshia Garrett is tops on the team with rebounds, pulling down 10.6 boards per game. She also leads the team with 16 blocks this season while contributing 10.1 points per game. Sophomore guard Kelva Atkins rounds out the top scorers for the team with a 9.0 average, in addition to leading the team with 2.6 assists each outing.
♦ The Dukes are on a seven-game win streak and have won 11 of the last 12 games, including a 60-39 victory over the Seahawks in their CAA opener. JMU sits in sole possession of second place in the league standings with an 8-1 record, one game back from Delaware and half of a game ahead of Drexel.
♦ Head coach Kenny Brooks is now a perfect 10-0 on Super Bowl Sunday at the helm of JMU women's basketball. The Dukes staged a 15-point comeback on Feb. 3 at William & Mary to preserve the record and are now 5-1 all-time against the Tribe on Super Bowl Sunday.
♦ Freshman Precious Hall is CAA Rookie of the Week for the fourth time this season after posting a team-high 19 points in the Dukes' win against the Tribe. The Rookie of the Year candidate is averaging 9.0 points per game, shooting 38.2 percent from the floor and knocking down 85.4 percent of her free throws. Her average scoring improves to 13.9 when facing league opponents.
♦ Fellow freshman Destiny Jones rose to the challenge of William & Mary when she grabbed a career-high seven rebounds over 23 minutes of action, the most she has seen in her career. She also started the second half against the Tribe.
♦ Team leaders Kirby Burkholder and Tarik Hislop are approaching record scoring numbers. Burkholder is just 16 points away from the 800-point career mark, and she is averaging 16.6 ppg when facing CAA foes. Hislop, averaging 16.1 ppg overall, needs four points to hit the 1,600-career point mark and 11 points to pass Holly Rilinger (1,607 pts) for fifth place on JMU's career points list.

If you want something with a bit more shimmer, check out theBalm®'s cabanaBOY blush.
You've found your dream dress—whoo hoo! Now comes the fun part: picking makeup and hair to go with it.
theBalm® cosmetics
Availability: In stock
There are a few occasions in life when we blush naturally, like when we run into an old crush or make eye contact with a handsome stranger. Since those events happen rarely, we like to fake it with theBalm®'s flirtatious blush. The ultra-fine powder blends seamlessly into your skin to give it a natural blush. We love that the matte baby pink straddles the line between innocent and mischievous. Plus, it comes in adorable compact and can double as lovely eye shadow.
While many blushes contain undesirable ingredients like synthetic colors and parabens, this blush is thoughtfully formulated to respect your skin. The satiny powder goes on evenly, leaving a uniform flush.
Grab your favorite blush brush and pick up a small amount of blush. Tap to get rid of any excess. Smile, and blend into the apples of your cheeks. Since the formula is ultra-pigmented, you only need to use a little to achieve a rosy flush. You can also use your fingertips or a shadow brush to sweep the powder onto your lids.

Red is the color of love and there is no greater example of love than Christs sacrifice on the cross for you and me. "...All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us" (Revelation 1:5). "Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit" (1 Peter 3:18). Nails didn't hold Jesus to that cross...His love for you and me did!

Why Study Abroad?: Study abroad, whether for a few weeks, a semester, or a full year, affords opportunities for students to gain valuable, first-hand international experience. Study abroad enables a greater degree of understanding of peoples and issues the world over, helps participants grow as students and as people, enables a sense of global citizenship, and greatly expands one's professional options. Study Abroad gives one the opportunity to learn about the history, economy, ecology, politics, music, indigenous cultures, human rights issues, and legal systems of different countries and of meeting and sharing ideas with students, scientists, activists, and artists from around the world.
CCSU International Partnerships: CCSU sponsors exchange agreements with a wide variety of universities across the globe. For a full list of CCSU's partner universities and for a wide variety of other pertinent information, consult the Center for International Education (CIE) Website. International and Area Studies students can study at any of CCSU's partner universities, or may arrange opportunities at other world universities, depending on their personal and academic interests. Students should meet with their advisor to determine which study abroad programs match their needs. However, CCSU students pay CCSU costs for credits taken at CCSU partner universities and these courses transfer as credit. CCSU financial aid also applies to a partner university program.
Short Courses Abroad: CCSU also offers a variety of course abroad opportunities each year, led by university faculty. Recent course abroad programs have been conducted in Brazil, Ghana, Belize, Panama, Australia, the UK, Spain, Cuba, Peru, Italy, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago, among others. The Center for International Education, located on the first floor of Barnard Hall, issues an annual catalog where CCSU Course Abroad programs are discussed.
Study Abroad with CSU Sister Institutions: CCSU Students are also eligible to participate in the study abroad programs sponsored by our sister campuses within the Connecticut State University (CSU) system. Stop by the Center for International Education (CIE) for more information on programs offered by Eastern, Southern, and Western Connecticut State Universities. CCSU financial aid and scholarships will apply and transfer credit is assured.
Credit and Transfer Credit: CCSU students can now fulfill part or all of their International Course Requirement through Study Abroad. This applies both to short-term faculty-led courses abroad to semester-long study abroad that results in approved CCSU transfer credit. And it applies even if the equivalent course on the CCSU campus does not bear an International designation. In other words, studying abroad per se will earn you credit toward the 6 credit I-course requirement.
Language Concerns: Partner Universities that are located in countries where English is not the native language may offer a variety of courses in English for English-speaking students. CCSU students with foreign language proficiency may also have the opportunity to take courses in the native language, and students with elementary or intermediate foreign language skills can often find programs that combine courses in English with opportunities to improve foreign language skills.
Other Advice: Meet with your advisor and start planning early for your international experience. Pre-approval by your advisor and the International and Area Studies Program Director is required to transfer in credit in your major. If you cannot spend a semester abroad, consider a short-term, faculty-led Course Abroad. Do some international homework: research the destination country, including its history, culture, laws, and language ahead of your travel.
Outside Funding Opportunities: A wide variety of scholarships and exchange programs can be found on-line. Information about hostels and other low-cost living arrangements are also available. Below we list some links to information to enable travel and study abroad.
International Scholarships Online is a comprehensive collection of scholarships, grants, and more information to help fund study abroad endeavors.

EAA Government Advocacy
Where EAA Stands . . . On One Easy Page
EAA advocacy briefings available to members, chapters - The calls come to EAA s government advocacy department every dayHey, what is EAA doing about (fill in the appropriate government issue)?
Among the hundreds of aviation topics that are discussed and handled by EAAs staff through the year, there is a select group that are of the widest concern and highest impact for EAA members and aviators everywhere. Beginning this month, its easier than ever to have an update on EAAs concise positions on these subjects.
One-page briefing papers are now available on many of the top issues. These easy-to-understand briefings include an outline of the issue, what EAAs concerns are about it, government and EAA positions, what the best outcome for aviators would be, and what you can do to help.
Among the top issues outlined are:
- Avgas and its future
- NextGen
- General aviation safety and FAAs Transforming GA five-year strategy
- Amateur-built and light-sport aircraft (LSA) safety
- ASTM consensus standards for LSA
- Airworthiness directive applicability to experimental aircraft
- Security impacts on GA
- FAA reauthorization
These and other briefing papers will be regularly updated when new developments occur, giving EAA members a quick, focused look at EAAs position on a key issue and what your organization is doing about it. Additional briefing sheets are already under development and will be added as needed.
Not only do these briefing sheets supply an easy-to-find digest of some of todays top GA topics, but also they provide EAA members and chapters with the things they need to know to help influence the best outcome for all of us who fly, said David Oord, EAAs government advocacy specialist. As diverse as EAAs membership is, we know that every member may not agree with every detail of a particular position. These briefing papers, though, supply reasoning behind EAAs position to best represent our fellow members, as well as a starting point for further discussion on these important matters
California Group Files Intent to Sue Over Leaded AvGas
The Oakland, California-based Center for Environmental Health provided notice in early May that it intends to sue 50 fuel retailers and suppliers (including subsidiaries and affiliates) for violating Californias drinking water and toxic enforcement law, based on the suppliers distribution of aviation gasoline, which contains a lead additive.
The aviation members of the General Aviation Avgas Coalition, which includes EAA, are exploring all options for supporting the named fuel suppliers.
EAA and other coalition members maintain that individual state actions cannot override federal regulation of national aviation activities; this prevents a confusing patchwork of local and state regulations. Equally important, federal aviation gasoline fuel standards are focused on the safety of flight by ensuring that the engine of an aircraft in flight does not suffer a catastrophic failure.
10 Years of Accidents and Causal Factors
The General Aviation Joint Steering Commitee (GAJSC) and Safety Analysis Team (SAT) continues to focus on data-driven risks and solutions. To begin that process, the fatal GA accident range of 20012010 was selected for analysis, resulting in 2,472 total events. Accidents were categorized using the common codes such as loss of controlin-flight (LOCI), controlled flight into terrain (CFIT), system/component failurepowerplant (SCFPP), etc. Additionally, the type of aircraft was also categorized, using homebuilt, turbine, and reciprocating non-homebuilt, resulting in the chart seen here.
Loss of control (LOC) was identified far and away as the most prevalent type of fatal GA accident with 1,190 fatal accidents followed by controlled flight into terrain, with 432.
A risk reduction working group has been formed that will study LOC accidents, beginning with those occurring during the approach and landing phase of flight, determine contributing factors, and develop intervention strategies. EAA staff is actively participating in the GAJSC, SAT, and a newly established working group in our continuing efforts to reduce the fatal accident rate.
Denied, Revoked, or Withdrawn
Recently, I was in Washington D.C., meeting with several FAA Headquarters staff members. One of my visits was with Dr. Fred Tilton, the Federal Air Surgeon. Fred shared with me an issue that is often overlooked by pilots when securing a medical. It is the issue of withdrawing from or terminating an FAA medical exam once you have started the application process by signing the FAA medical application form, 8500-8.
The ability to fly using a valid state issued drivers license has been a major accomplishment of the sport pilot movement championed by EAA. We all have read how the sport pilot drivers license authority and its related selfevaluation process works and are relatively well versed on what happens to your ability to fly if the FAA revokes or suspends your medical certificate, or if during the medical examination process the FAA finds that you are not medically eligible to be issued a medical certificate. These three actions will also prohibit you from using your drivers license to fly as a sport pilot.
What most pilots fail to realize is what the effect will be on your ability to fly as a sport pilot if you withdraw your medical certificate application. When you sign the FAA medical certificate application form 8500-8 and begin your medical examination, you must complete the process. It doesnt matter if you are applying for an initial medical examination, renewing your existing medical certificate, or seeking a FAA Special Issuance of your medical certification. In all cases, once you sign the medical application form and submit it to your flight surgeon you have initiated the medical certificate process, which must be completed to be found medically eligible to fly as a sport pilot per FAR 61.303(b).
If you withdraw from the FAA medical certification process prior to its completion the FAA will find that you have not been found eligible for medical certification and therefore you cannot use your drivers license to exercise the privileges of a sport pilot.
Even if you terminate your medical certification exam and head for the door, its official, and the process cant be halted because the FAA now has a record of you and your withdrawn medical. As always, it is best to fully understand the rules and set your course based on that knowledge.
Government Relations Briefings
Read more about out what else is happening in the world of EAA's government relations.
EAA's Government Relations department works to preserve the freedom of flight and reduce the regulatory barriers affecting affordability and access to EAA members participation in aviation. Protecting the freedom to fly is the foundation on which all of the organizations advocacy initiatives are built. EAA fights to preserve this freedom by providing clear solutions and practical alternatives backed by hard work and dedication. EAAs 55-year history of success is a testament to that philosophy.

MIAMI (AP) - Charlie Crist is calling for an end to the U.S. embargo on Cuba.The Democratic gubernatorial candidate appeared on Bill Maher's HBO show on Friday."I don't think it worked," Crist said of the 52-year-old embargo. He also agreed when the comedian said politicians need to stand up to the Cuban exile community that supports the economic sanctions.Gov. Rick Scott called that "insulting" in a statement released Saturday. He added: "Our Cuban community needs to be stood up for."Crist was also on the show to promote his new book. The former GOP governor said lifting the embargo could create jobs for Floridians.U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia, the first Cuban-American Democrat from Florida elected to Congress, has also campaigned in support of loosening restrictions.(Copyright 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Saint James Paris
Forty-eight delightfully renovated rooms and suites in a garden-surrounded neoclassical mansion built in 1892 in the elegant sixteenth arrondissement. Rooms and suites are all individually and boldly decorated in jewel-like colors and with great attention to both comfort and style.
A distinctively modern 88-room, Nordic-style chalet with ski-in/ski-out access to the Trois Vallées. At 7,545 feet, this is the highest resort in the Alps. Slick and Scandinavian-inspired, with lots of light-colored natural wood and stone, faux fur, and playful touches.
Château Les Carrasses, Capestang
A 28-room nineteenth-century wine estate—with a limestone château, grape pickers' cottages, and an orangerie—located a mile from the Canal du Midi in Languedoc and surrounded by vineyards. Rooms are light and airy, with high ceilings and dove-gray walls. Each is individually designed with a mix of traditional and modern French furniture.
Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Antibes
A much-celebrated nineteenth-century villa, snatched from the brink of fustiness, at the rocky tip of Cap d'Antibes. The 118-room resort includes a seafront pavilion and two private villas. A heated saltwater pool is blasted deep into the natural rock, and there's a private landing pier for guests who arrive by boat. No sandy beach here: An overwater trapeze launches bathers straight into the Mediterranean.
La Belle Juliette, Paris
Thirty-four rooms on a quiet residential street in the sixth arrondissement, steps from the Luxembourg Gardens and St-Germain-des-Prés. Nineteenth-century Paris salon revisited, with touches of mid-century modernism (note the Jens Risom chairs) and oversized Apple monitors. Each floor is inspired by a different chapter in the life of the beautiful Empire–era socialite Juliette Récamier (who was immortalized by the painter Jacques-Louis David) and…
La Maison Champs-Élysées
A 57-room high-design aerie conveniently located in a former hôtel particulier almost next door to the Grand and Petit Palais. A serene, playful modernity pervades the public spaces—white slip-covered chairs and sofas whose legs seem to float.
Les Avisés, Avize
A puckishly hip ten-room hotel opened by Anselme Selosse, one of the great small Champagne makers, in a handsome nineteenth-century neoclassical manor house with sweeping views of the vineyards. A postmodern riff on conventional château style. French designer Bruno Borrione, who once worked with Philippe Starck, furnished the spacious lounge and dining room with sleek contemporary pieces while highlighting the parquet floors and white-painted mol…
Mandarin Oriental Paris
A 138-room ultramodern palace on the rue St-Honoré. Rooms are plush and technologically state-of-the-art. This luxury hotel for the new millennium has a vaguely Oriental, perceptibly feminine, history-of-modern-fashion aesthetic—no boilerplate faux-château gilt trip here.

About this Quotation:
The idea of having a quote of the month or quote of the week was to highlight some recently added text which had something particularly apt to say about mankind's struggle for Liberty and against the intrusions on that liberty by Power - hence the title of this collection "Quotations about Liberty and Power". It was also hoped that the quote would inspire readers to delve more deeply into the online collection, to follow the links provided to other books by the author or related subject matter, and to generally explore the website and its resources.

GreatSchools Rating
I attended Shepherd a long time ago, I have had one child graduate and two currently attending. No school is perfect but looking at other public school options in the city, I am happy with Shepherd. They could use some improvement but who does not need to improve. With the jobs and resources that the parents at Shepherd have, we could be better but you can't complain unless you have done all you can to help. We have a partially newly renovated building with plans to continue into next year. We have new energetic teachers with great ideas and ready to implement them. There has been a decline but things are changing for the better and are on there way back up if you don't believe me look at the scores. The statistics speak for themselves!
Shepherd school was an excellent school until all of the outstanding teachers left last year, total of five teachers leaving all at the same time. this to me points fingers at the way the principal manages her staff. Some changes need to be made, in order to bring this school in good standing like it use to be.
My school is a great overall school especially the specialty subjects. It has a great art, language, and music program that truly works with the core subjects taught in the IB method.
Shepherd Elementary has progressively declined over the years. My child has attended the school for 5 years. Instruction from teachers is severely lacking leaving parents to reteach fundamentals of math and language arts at home. Instruction is often replaced by websites meant to be a supplement such as "First in Math". Often times some of the newer teachers are dismissive of parents concerns which ultimately must be funneled to the principle who at this time is bombarded by complaints, yet no changes have been seen. Longevity of teaching staff has been a significant issue at the school. Many of the academic issues could be addressed by utilizing online resources properly such as posting homework assignments online, instead of steering students to video game type learning tools in lieu of classroom instruction. I can say that Music, Art, and Gym instruction are on track for this school.
Shepherd tries very hard but is a bit overwhelmed with trying to be an IB school.Academics are average at best. I was not impressed with teacher my child had. She had no up to date training and was not interested n teaching the whole child. The PTA is overwhelmingly the best thing about the school however if you dont live in the neihborhood you are kind of an outcast. Also if your child is new and you have not been a part of the school since Pre K you an outsider. It is in a very nice area of Washington DC and therefore gets credit that it doesnt deserve. The star average says it all.
My son entered Shepherd last year as a new PK student. As my wife and I were new to the District, we had out concerns with public education in the city. We went to several DCPS open houses, and felt very comfortable with the Shepherd community. Not only has our son's want for academic success grown, but our family feels enriched by the caring environment. As a father, I am pleased with the leadership and the school's direction.
Shepherd is a wonderful school, on its way to becoming even better. A lot of the concerns I heard a few years ago, seem to have been--or are being--addressed. Shepherd is now officially an IB school. I love hearing the children say good morning in three different languages during morning assembly. The program is rich and diverse; the community is warm and caring. The school is not perfect and there are a few individual teachers that I feel aren't as good as they could be; but overall, I'm very happy to have my child there.
Shepherd is a wonderful neighborhood school in a wonderful neighborhood. We just moved to area and we have two children at Shepherd ES - we have lucked out!
This is a wonderful school with great teachers/staff, and great parent/community involvment. All of my children began their educations there. Our music program is outstanding and our language program is making great strides.
Great teachers. Very loving, caring and smart!
Shepherd makes learning fun!
Great teachers, great princal, wonderful language instruction and music program!
Because the teachers really care about the children and their growth.
So many dedicated individuals, some who have been at the school for years. Kindergarten teachers (the ones I know best) are terrific. Great new principal. Diverse classroom, which I value a great deal. Involved PTA. Lovely neighborhood.
Shepherd is a neighborhood school, where children can walk to school, where the school is surrounded by the community it serves. Whether one has children at the school or not it serves as a focal point for our neighborhood.
Professional, caring and committed teaching and administrative staff; involved parents; supportive community.
Shepherd is a good school in a fantastic neighborhood. Hopefully in a couple of years our own children will be able to cross the street and become part of the Shepherd School family.
Very solid school, teacher quality is good, music and language is great, parents are involved and it has a long history of ties and support with the neighborhood.
We love our neighborhood school!
The teachers are great! The Principal is great! What's not to love!

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Eric Russell email@example.com
Staff Writer
After enduring two days of criticism much of it from members of his own party – Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster apologized late Thursday for suggesting that groups of unknown black voters showed up at rural polling places on Election Day.
Maine Republican Party chairman Charlie Webster
"It was my intention to talk not about race, but about perceived voting irregularities," Webster said in a written statement. "However, my comments were made without proof of wrongdoing and they had the unintended consequence of casting aspersions on an entire group of Americans. For that, I am truly sorry."
Webster made his initial claim earlier this week in a wide-ranging, post-election interview with Don Carrigan of WCSH-TV.
"In some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens, dozens of black people who came in and voted on Election Day," he said during that interview. "Everybody has a right to vote, but nobody in (these) towns knows anyone who's black. How did that happen? I don't know. We're going to find out."
Webster declined in the interview to identify any of the towns, and he provided no other specifics in interviews with the Portland Press Herald on Wednesday and Thursday.
Initially, Webster said he would send thank-you cards to all of the new voters and track whether any were returned with invalid addresses. On Thursday, he said he has no plan to send any cards.
In his apology, Webster made it clear that his claim did not express the views of the party.
By the time he sent his apology, though, his comments had offended many, including people in the party. The story also was appearing on national websites, including Drudge Report, Gawker and Politico.
The controversy comes at a sensitive time for Republicans, who lost their majorities in the Maine House and Senate in last week's elections and are searching for ways to attract more minority voters.
Lance Dutson, a well-known Republican operative who worked for U.S. Sen. Susan Collins and Maine House Speaker Robert Nutting and ran this year's U.S. Senate campaign of Charlie Summers, said Thursday that Webster should resign immediately.
"Webster's statements should be cause for immediate resignation," Dutson wrote on Twitter. "Any GOP who values future of party should demand same."
Matt Jacobson, a Republican who ran for governor in the 2010 primary, tweeted: "In Navy, when ship runs aground, Captain is relieved. Charlie Webster needs to stop talking. Now."
Webster announced last week that he will not seek another term as chairman of the party. Republicans are expected to elect new leaders Dec. 1.
In an interview before his apology, Webster said he still believes that there were voting irregularities on Election Day and he will continue looking into it on his own time.
"I feel strongly about it," he said. "It's a matter of principle."
Zachary Heiden, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine, said Webster's comments veer dangerously close to voter intimidation.
"It's a great thing when new people register to vote," he said. "We should celebrate them, not intimidate them."
The NAACP of Maine called Webster's claim "a racially-motivated attempt to disqualify the (election) results."
"What his statements reveal is what voters have known through this past election cycle: that racism is at the heart of the voter suppression movement," said President Rachel Talbot Ross in a prepared statement. "The NAACP will continue to work each and every day on behalf of all Mainers, to protect their right to vote. Toward this end, we will investigate any and all potential violations of the law by Mr. Webster and his party related to his statements this week."
Rep. Kenneth Fredette of Newport, who was elected Wednesday as the new House minority leader, said last week's elections should be a sign that the Republican Party must be more welcoming. Webster's comments were not helpful, he said.
"Any time you identify specific groups in general terms, that's hurtful," Fredette said. "If there are specific complaints, they should be investigated, but these general statements and claims don't help anyone."
Fredette talked of rebuilding the party during a speech on Wednesday.
He said the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan's presidency won 49 of 50 states in 1984, suggesting that the party's beliefs were widely supported. He said the party must be a "big tent" again.
"Any comments that turn people off, even if they energize the base, can hurt the party as a whole," Fredette said.
Webster said Thursday that he regrets singling out black voters because people have labeled him a racist.
"I have a couple friends that I play basketball with who are black and I'm sure I'm going to get a few elbows the next time we play," he joked.
Webster has been outspoken and controversial throughout his two years as party chairman.
He made headlines in the summer of 2011 when he alleged that scores of college students had voted without establishing residency in the state. Those claims prompted an investigation, but no fraud was uncovered.
Webster was criticized widely within his party for his handling of Maine's presidential caucus in February.
Candidates to succeed Webster are Richard Cebra of Naples, who had to give up his House seat this year because of term limits; Beth O'Connor, a representative from Berwick who lost her re-election bid last week; and David Jones of Falmouth, a supporter of presidential candidate Ron Paul and a relative newcomer to the party committee.

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF VARIABLE STAR OBSERVERS 25 Birch Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA firstname.lastname@example.com Tel. 617-354-0484 Fax 617-354-0665 AAVSO ALERT NOTICE 336 (April 4, 2006)
Subject: CCD CAMPAIGN TO OBSERVE 1059+23 AH LEO
Coordinates: 11:05:05.30 +23:21:08.0 (2000.0)
AAVSO Council member Dr. Pamela Gay, Harvard University, has requested our assistance in observing the RR Lyrae variable star AH Leo closely this spring and early summer. She is studying the Blazhko cycle and other periodicities in this star, and precise, well time-sampled observations are essential.
Here is an excerpt from Dr. Gay's Variable Star of the Season presentation on AH Leo:
"AH Leo rises from and falls back to a minimum magnitude of about V = 14.35 every 0.466 day and the period is slowly evolving. Roughly every 25 days AH Leo's Blazhko cycle repeats itself, causing the star's amplitude to vary from deltaV = 0.5 to 1.2 magnitudes. To understand the star's every rise and fall, we need to observe each of these two cycles in detail. Perhaps most importantly, by covering the Blazhko cycle for multiple consecutive cycles we can say with certainty what repeats (or fails to repeat) when, and identify any additional, previously unknown, longer periodicities.
"While observations of RR Lyrae stars often focus on the ascending branch and maximum light, we ask that observers please obtain images of the star during all phases so that Fourier analysis can be used to fit the star's light curve. This method works best when the entire curve is well sampled. We are also very interested in any bumps that may appear during the descending branch of the light curve, and changes in the shape of the light curve during minimum light."
V-band CCD observations are preferred, but filtered observations in all optical bands are welcome. Please observe AH Leo as much as you can until the end of its observing season in June, and submit your observations to the AAVSO using the appropriate CCD upload tool.
An AAVSO chart for AH Leo will be posted to the following URL: http://www.aavso.org/cgi-bin/searchcharts3.pl?name=ah%20leo
Report observations to the AAVSO as: 1059+23 AH LEO
This campaign is being coordinated by E. Waagen (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Many thanks for your valuable astronomical contributions and your efforts.
Good observing!

The first Healthy New Jersey project was Healthy New Jersey 2000: A Public Health Agenda for the 1990s . It was launched in June, 1991 and contained 72 objectives in 11 major health categories. Update Healthy New Jersey 2000 was published in February, 1996 and in February, 1999, Update Healthy New Jersey 2000: Second Update and Review was the first Healthy New Jersey report published online. Both documents tracked the progress made toward the 2000 targets using data available at the time of publication.
The Department of Health's second Healthy New Jersey initiative, Healthy New Jersey 2010: A Health Agenda for the First Decade of the New Millennium, was released in June, 2001. The number of objectives and breadth of accompanying information had increased such that the initial document needed to be printed as a two-volume set. Healthy New Jersey 2010 consisted of 137 objectives in 19 public health areas. Healthy New Jersey 2010: Update 2005 was published online and in hard copy in May, 2005. With the DOH Center for Health Statistics' launch of the New Jersey State Health Assessment Data (NJSHAD) online data access tool in 2007, it was decided to publish all remaining updates to Healthy New Jersey 2010 objectives in health indicator reports within the NJSHAD system. This plan allows updates to occur on a rolling basis whenever new data are available for a given objective.
Planning for the Department's third edition of Healthy New Jersey began in 2008. Healthy New Jersey 2020 was launched in 2013.

Power cuts shut Kidlington Sainsbury's (From The Oxford Times)

Power cuts shut Kidlington Sainsbury's
3:23pm Sunday 29th December 2013 in News By Andrew Ffrench, Reporter covering Didcot and Wallingford. Call me on 01865 425425
Staff and customers at Sainsbury's in Kidlington have been affected by a series of power cuts throughout the day, and 400 homes in the area have also been hit.
A member of staff at the petrol station linked to the Oxford Road store said there had been four power failures so far.
She added: "The store opened as normal at 10am but each time there is a power cut we have to close - the latest one lasted for about half an hour."
A spokesman for Scottish and Southern Electric power distribution said that about 400 homes in the Kidlington area have been affected as well as the store.
She added that the latest power cut lasted from 2.15pm to just before 3pm and that power has now been restored.
